Keaton hadn’t had a single game that bad until last night. His worst was 3 a handful of times.

KJ struggled with turnovers the entire year. It gradually got worse, yes, but it was also part of his scout coming in, if I recall. And in his case I think it was always connected to decision making, not physicality.
And the other thing with Keaton is that part of his upside is strength—he is clearly going to get way stronger in the next 3 years. KJ seemed more or less already filled out last year in terms of his build Previous Message
But yeah it will be a factor, just funny to see the hot take artists focusing on a missed dunk rather than 34 points on incredible shot making.
Only thing I’ll put in any stock in is the concern over turnovers the last two games, as he hasn’t seemed quite as in control as he did before those games. And we saw KJ progressively struggle with this as the accumulation of getting hacked on every drive started to wear on him.
